WELL DONE to Zat Knight for being big enough – well, he is 6ft 6in – to talk to the press after Bolton’s humiliating 5-0 defeat by Stoke in Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final.

Zat Knight was big enough to talkto the press after Bolton’s humiliating 5-0 defeat by Stoke

Less impressive was the member of the Bolton press office staff who then told him that actually, no, he did not want to talk to the media after all – much to the noisy chagrin of one local radio reporter.

Perhaps if the club’s own media department concentrated more on promoting good, honest communication they would not have run with a “Bolton 5 Stoke 0” scoreline on the official website.
